Slackware gets to be less of a cottage industry every day, but only by becoming better-integrated with its community as a means of support. If the hardware were binary incompatible, this port might have been forced sooner, and being 32-bit only would have been a problem. But then, binary incompatibility kills 64-bit desktop processor options anyways. The fact that this port can be not only brought under the same "roof" as the 32-bit Slackware, but also synchronized so that both can be maintained as Slackware going forward, is a big deal when you don't have corporate backing.
